I will consider this discussion before posting in the future. That's not to say I agree with all of it, but I didn't intend to offend anyone by over-sharing my research..so that's something I'll try not to do again. As far as a code goes, that's just not something I care about. Someone else's implied rules are no concern of mine. This is a puzzle forum, unique thinking is the whole point. But as I said in the over-sharing post, I was sharing what I knew in hopes that it would help someone out. Yes, frustration was part of the decision to do so, but I didn't know it would be taken in a negative way. Finally, it is not a solution that I posted. Nothing in there, other than maybe the number 34 (IF I'm right about that, which we don't know), forms any part of the actual solution, as far as I can tell. At most, I found the route and possibly some of the connections that confirm it as the route (Lindbergh=Lone Eagle? n arrow = "an arrow"?). Whatever turns the info I posted into the actual solution is still a mystery to me. I have some ideas about it, but I'll keep those to myself...wouldn't want to offend anyone  |

In my experience with these puzzles (not a great deal), wannabe solvers are too tight-lipped. They hint like they know the answer. More often than not they are wrong.
It's refreshing to see someone post their thoughts on it without the hinty tease factor. That ought to be reserved for the puzzle creator, for the most part.
Let's face it, toward the end of them, we're usually confronted with a well bolted gate.
Just a reminder: we do this for fun! Good luck to all!
P.S. retro has said that 1 or more know the format for the template (I'm stumped on that). They must be the closest to the coin.

If they had any intestinal fortitude they would go out and find the correct answers to complete the challenge. |

Here is everything I found. Is this not a competition? Why are you posting all this here? Revealing the solutions to most of the hunt's clues spoils the hunt for those still trying, and erases the hard-fought progress made by others. If I had known someone would publicly post all of this at the 11th hour, I would not have even started -- what is the point? because its a forum and they are allowed to do what they want to help others in the way they want if you dont like the forum made for discussions why are you reading it except hoping someone posts something to help you so you can solve it yourself after not sharing anything at all sounds selfish and big pouter |

K, The Puzzler post is dandy.
Where to next?
All of these yellow concrete arrow blocks, existing or not, may help, I dunno. One may be the "mark".
Here we go again, chains at the gate.

A lot of hostility and negative vibe here. Lots of maybes here: If the path is from NY to LA, the seventh town on the map is St Louis (7 letters too). Then decide going left or right, Springfield or Kansas City. That makes Ponca City, OK the center; maybe.  |

If anyone thinks they have the "format for the template" but can't figure out the location - let's chat haha - I'm positive I have the right location (small enough area) but can't figure out the what type of coordinates use 8+3 - feel free to message me

I think maybe you want to include "google" in your Google search. I hope that was the right level of hint. Don't want anyone mad at me for offering help in a forum meant to help people. |

I received a bunch of submissions today, reviewing a few tonight to understand better where everyone is headed but no winners yet.

Don't want anyone mad at me for offering help in a forum meant to help people. C'mon, Mike. Share it. I'll say it - i think he's eluding to google plus codes generally _ _ _ _ + _ _ but can be very precise to get to a code that would be _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ The problem I have with it is that in the United states those first two numbers for an 11 digit google plus code would have to be 84, 85, 86 or 87 - and if you think the path # is 34 which i agree with - that really doesn't work for this |
